Two software houses with BIM and construction-focused software suites have announced integration with major Autodesk BIM offerings.

Topcon’s Magnet Enterprise data management suite now supports full integration with Autodesk’s BIM 360 and A360 Drive environments, allowing operators to manage 2D plans, 3D models, and any other project documents within Autodesk’s cloud platforms.

“The BIM 360 integration allows construction teams to perform field layout from building plans stored in the Autodesk cloud or collect survey and positioning data that can be directly uploaded to BIM 360,” said David Ahl, Topcon’s director of software product management.

“Additionally, machine automation users can access Autodesk documents through Enterprise and Sitelink3D.”

German makers of mobile indoor capture software NavVis have also announced a significant integration with a major Autodesk product — this time the Revit BIM toolkit with NavVis’ IndoorViewer product.

Users of both product can now compare RevIt BIM models with the output of IndoorViewer, allowing side-by-side comparisons of the model and the scanned state of the building. This should allow to users quickly spot any changes made since the model was created and the current state was captured, which should streamline the process of updating BIM models.

RevIt users can access this functionality by installing the IndoorViewer add-in.
